Just wondering if anyone was going to the PCA Auto X this Sunday in Miami (actually Hialeah). This will be my first, any advice? <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/unsure.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I would recommend that you read the Novice handbook. It gives you insight into what happens and how you can prepare for your first autocross. go to: http://www.autosportsnorthwest.org/handbook.htm

That's the link my local club has for the handbook. Also, prepare to have fun!



Cheers, Stephen

spin the car just to get it out of your system <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />





start slow and smooth, say 4 or 5/10, and work up.



also, this won't be as much of an issue for an autocross, but you want to make sure you've got relatively fresh brake fluid.



people buy a used Porsche, don't appreciate it's got the original brake fluid, take it for a hard day's drive, the fluid boils approaching a turn and they go into a tree. . . it happened on a local funrun a few years ago.

Well, my first autocross was pretty fun. Your advice was spot on, I printed the handbook from autosportsnorthwest and that was very helpful. I also walked the course a few times...still got confused a cupple of times though. My times kept getting slower the harder I tried though, the LS1 makes very abrupt power in 2nd gear. Well looking forward to the nex one, thank for the advice. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/cool.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
